Depending on the culture of the visit, it can be determined that a family member is appropriate and if the wife is not available, one of them could go. Additionally, members can take members of their family if their wife is not available, but it would come out of their expenses. Children go all the time. That's not the issue. The issue is Nancy promised to cut wasteful spending and is now demanding the Pentagon carry the expense regardless of who goes. Although great potentially for the kids, there really is no <em>need</em> for ANY family to go. Areas that she wants cut are military and homeland security. Which is more important?
